Provides an unique, modern, and practical road map to finding life's purpose and meaning. A bit of a hard read at times.

"Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind" blew my mind several times in several ways. Jamie Wheal is a well-integrated polymath and a casually brilliant wordsmith with a rapier wit. The book, published in 2021, addresses the current and urgent challenges facing humanity, practical tools that we can employ now -- individually and collectively -- to alchemize our collective experience, and interesting suggestions for ethical cult(ure)-building. Jamie Wheal has done several great interviews this year, as well, that you can find on YouTube if you want to get the gist. The book is a work of art, an impressive historical record, and a tome of practical wisdom. It went on my "Highly Recommend to Everyone" shelf before I even finished it. 10/10 stars.
Exquisite!
Such a massive think piece, so much to unpack in this one. I'm honestly gonna go back and re-read some passages/chapters that I dog eared for later study, and there are a few of those!
Jamie Wheal makes such easy work out of really not so easy subject matter.
I loved it and will be recommending to anyone, like myself, who wishes to become an Omegan for the future of our species!

This book had many great insights and nuggets, woven together in a compelling and interesting writing style. The subject matter is esoteric and a bit woo, but not full on woowoo, and therefore still appealing to me. It is very practical, talking about particular ways that certain habits, rituals, etc help people explore consciousness, connections, spirituality, etc. My biggest complaint about this book is that it seems to rapid-fire as many relevant concepts as possible, rather than taking the time to explore any concept or cluster of concepts in depth. This is interesting for gaining exposure and half-knowledge of things, but not useful for going deep on any of them individually. Still, maybe that's not the purpose of this book.
Really liked this one. Attempted to answer the question "how can we redesign religion to make sense for modern day" can't say it was a perfect answer, but really got one thinking

I was quite amazed at this book at the beginning, marveling at how well timed it was for my current state of mind and wonderings about the world and meaning. In many ways it was simply "preaching to the choir" at least until the end when he decided that maybe Jesus is the answer after all, at least for the author. Will definitely revisit again before too long
